Following the demolition of the existing buildings Earls Court 1 and 2 the current works involve de-risking the site for future development.
The largest crane in London arrived on site in November 2016 and stands at 120m tall. It can lift up to 3200T and took 10 weeks to build. The ALE designed crane is part of the land enabling works due for completion at the end of 2017.
It will remove 61 beams from site, working overnight following a bespoke access plan agreement with London Underground.
